Red shoes

I just inherited my sister’s shoes. We three sisters referred to each other as hippie, stylish and punk. To refer to me exclusively as stylish in not quite accurate, both my sisters have always been incredibly stylish in their own way. Frederique is The Punk. Ingrid was The Hippie. She was a beautiful, tree-hugging, animal-rescuing, plant-loving woman who’s face lit up every time she saw one of us sisters. She died a few weeks ago and all her clothes, shoes and accessories are in my spare bedroom for sorting. I believe I’ve met my match, this woman had a lot of clothes and shoes.

Before she died, I told her I wanted her shoes. I didn’t ask, I pulled the sister card and put it a direct request. I wasn’t leaving anything up to chance. We have the same feet. I wanted to have her with me all the time, her death has been my biggest heartbreak to date and it’s comforting to carry her spirit with me when I can’t call her up whenever I feel like it any more.

But let’s talk shoes because that woman seriously loved shoes. I call them hippie shoes and in doing so I’ve practically guaranteed my other sister won’t want anything to do with them. I’m a little sneaky that way, although, they really are hippie shoes and that’s what makes them so appealing to me. I love shoes, too. They don’t, however, love me back. Except hers. Of course they do. She would be pleased to know they’re keeping my feet happy.

First, I’m sorry your sister’s death, courage. Her shoes are beautiful, so cute, and also will find that she is always with you. You look beautiful with this look, the skirt is very nice and the shoes are perfect.josep-maria recently posted..LOOKS DE LA SETMANA. 21

I am very sorry, Fabienne. What a heartbreak. May you glide soon from sadness to the warmth of happy and funny memories. Those shoes are beautiful in a vibrant, happily used, fairytale sort of way. They make me think of Snow White in the forest, or a triumphant Red Riding Hood.Cloud of Secrets recently posted..Thirteenth Tale
